NASA will provide coverage of the upcoming prelaunch and launch activities for the agency\u2019s SpaceX Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
Liftoff is targeted for 7:48 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, March 12, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The targeted docking time is approximately 10 a.m., Thursday, March 13.<\/p>\n
Coverage of the mission overview teleconference will be available on the agency\u2019s website. The crew news conference, launch, the postlaunch news conference, and docking will be live on NASA+. Learn how to stream NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.<\/p>\n
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander; and Nichole Ayers, pilot; along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov to the orbiting laboratory for a science mission of about four months. This is the 10th crew rotation mission and the 11th human spaceflight mission for NASA to the space station supported by the Dragon spacecraft since 2020 as part of the agency\u2019s Commercial Crew Program.<\/p>\n

This partnership is changing the arc of human spaceflight history by opening access to low Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, more science, and more commercial opportunities. The space station remains the springboard to NASA\u2019s next great leap in space exploration, including future missions to the Moon and, eventually, to Mars.<\/p>\n For more information about the mission, visit:<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n -end-<\/p>\n Joshua Finch \/ Jimi Russell Steven Siceloff \/ Stephanie Plucinsky Kenna Pell\n
